Leadership Mindset 2.0: The Psychology and Neuroscience of Reaching Your Full Potential

Stepping into a leadership role isn’t simple, and in most cases, it isn’t natural. Often you have to “un-learn” some of the things that made you successful, and significantly change how you look at, think about, and behave in different situations.

This change doesn’t happen by accident. It starts by adopting a new mindset.

In this fast-moving, highly insightful session, attendees will learn how to:

• Shift out of Imposter Syndrome into a Confident, Resilient, Powerful leader who naturally Earns Respect and Loyalty from Everyone
• Let go of the Day-to-Day Tactical Work and position yourself to be a Strategic, Forward Thinking Leader who’s working ON the Business instead of IN the Business
• Get the Most out of your Team by Empowering and Growing, Motivating and Inspiring, and holding them Accountable….WITHOUT Being a Jerk!

If your leaders need tools and skills to get their teams and the organization to the next level, this is the session for them.

Leading Through Change And Adversity

For better or for worse, I’m no stranger to leading teams through unprecedented times.

As an American and as a manager, I saw the devastating effect 9/11 had on businesses worldwide, and those powerful lessons have stuck with me to this day.

Later, after founding my own software business, the great recession hit and started to decimate our industry.

Fortunately, I applied what I learned earlier, and my company doubled in revenue and profit, acquired a competitor for next to nothing, and was named the #1 Best Place to Work.

To survive and thrive in this “next normal”, Leaders need to have a game plan for the company, the team, and themselves.

After all, most leaders have had to adapt to more change over the last year plus than in the rest of their careers combined – and we all know there’s much more coming at us.

In this Leading through Change & Adversity session, you will learn:

• What managers in your organization need to be doing right now to take charge of the change
• What every single member of your team needs to support them in these stressful, uncertain, and even opportune times
• How to position your whole company for agility and success as the chaos continues

(Presentation includes results of a meta-analysis conducted with myself and Glasgow University on successful navigation of difficult times.)

This session will ensure you equip the people in your organization who need to embrace and lead this change with the right tools, right mindset, and confidence.

Leading And Managing Remote & Hybrid Teams

Michael has been working remotely for over 20 years, and one of the companies he founded, Radiant Technologies, won the #1 Best Place to Work back in 2013 with a mostly virtual team.

• Easily and gracefully hold people accountable while you empower and coach them
• Create a positive, supportive, performance focused culture that people buy into, even when they are virtual
